Three-Braised Delights (Potato, Eggplant, Green Pepper) — a Chinese recipe, ready in about 35 minutes. Step-by-step instructions with photos.

Ingredients

• Yukon Gold potatoes
• Chinese eggplant
• green bell peppers
• garlic
• light soy sauce
• Chinese black vinegar

Instructions

1. Heat 3 tbsp neutral oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Fry potato cubes in batches until golden and crisp-edged — about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
2. Lower heat to medium. Add eggplant and fry until softened and lightly browned — about 2.5 minutes. Remove and drain.
3. Pour off all but 1 tbsp oil. Add minced garlic and stir 15 seconds until fragrant. Add green peppers and stir-fry 1 minute until bright and slightly blistered.
4. Return potatoes and eggplant to wok. Add light soy sauce and Chinese black vinegar. Stir constantly 1 minute until sauce coats everything evenly and begins to glaze.
5. Taste and add a pinch of sugar (optional) to balance acidity. Serve immediately while hot and crisp-tender.
